This week we witnessed yet another horrendous attack against Israeli civilians, this time in the resort town on Burgas, Bulgaria. Over 30 of the wounded as well as the bodies of Itzik Kolangi (28),Amir Menashe (28), Maor Harush (25), Elior Preis (26), Kochava Shriki (44) who was pregnant, were flown home to Israel by Israeli Air Force planes. Also killed in the attack was Mustafa Kyosov (36), the Bulgarian bus driver.
We express our utmost disgust following this brutal terrorist attack against Israeli civilians.
Though no organization has taken responsibility for the attack, we are familiar with similar attempts by Iran to harm Israelis overseas. Sadly, this day also marks exactly 18 years since the horrendous terrorist attack on the Jewish Community Center in Argentina.
Israel recognizes and appreciates the efforts made by the Bulgarian authorities and calls upon the international community to condemn this terrorist attack and to respond decisively.
A special word of condolences to the Selber family from Wynnewood, for the loss of their family member Maor Harush, who was killed in the attack.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims of this heinous act and we all wish a speedy recovery to the wounded.
